You met on short notice with a group of business leaders three times in the wake of the presidential election. What prompted that first meeting?
As you know, we had pioneered this space of CEO conferences, but we always thought we needed physical space to do it, to build that degree of trust and candor noncommercial, off the record. I wasn’t sure that it would translate to Zoom.
When we did a regular CEO Summit in June, and then one in September, where we warned them they’re on the record, they were extraordinarily candid, even so much so that with Vice President Biden, now President Biden, there, we got them to pivot from the topic we planned to talk about, which was the impact of the pandemic on their businesses, to talk about racial injustice issues in response to the George Floyd murder immediately preceding the meeting.

A nationalist, “although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge, tends to be uninterested in what happens in the real world.” (George Orwell)
In contrast, “A patriot wants a nation to live up to its ideals. A patriot must be concerned with the real world, which is the only place where his country can be loved or sustained. … A nationalist will say that ‘it can’t happen here,’ which is the first step towards disaster. A patriot says that it could happen here, but that we will stop it.” (Historian Tim Snyder)
